My degree plan for TESU BA in CS; thoughts/recs?

[LevelUP]

Main question for this post: I've wanted to take the final exam for the CIS-1070 e-Pack for a long time now (especially after having learned that it was arguably the easiest e-Pack/TECEP), but I got second thoughts recently after finding out that certain others found that they barely passed, even with studying. I got a 72% on the practice final exam. I need a 60% to pass.

I had thought you needed a 70% to pass?

Side question for this post: It's been tough at times throughout this term because I'm not too sure how thorough I should be in my writings for the Cornerstone, the Capstone, and Software Engineering (SWE). At times, it feels like I'm doing the bare minimum since I'm skipping most (if not, all) of the module readings, not revising for quality, etc. On the other hand though, particularly with the Capstone and SWE, sometimes I really do desire making something actually substantive, so I take a lot of time to read things/listen to videos re: whatever I'm talking about.

One poster I saw here even said they finished SWE in 20 hours; what?! So awesome. I don't know if that's in the cards for me, but if it isn't, that's totally alright. If it is possible though and I'm just spending too much time on the reading/writing, then I should learn where I can tone it down a bit.

I wouldn't worry about reading the SWE book. The assignments don't reference the book much.

With citations, I write about 500 words per hour. They aren't too picky about citations until you do the capstone. Ask the professor if you are unsure if a professor wants "scholarly" citations.
